The Ulverston Mirror, 30th June, 1860:
REAPPEARANCE OF WRECKS
The wreck of the Delight
is again visible to the south-west of Chapel Island, and near it an old
brig, which is supposed to be the Reliance, a letter-of-mark belonging
to Lancaster, and which was wrecked about the year 1801. This old brig
is in an excellent state of preservation, its deck staunchions, rudder,
night-heads, ring-bolts on the deck, and dead-eyes, all being pretty much
as they were some 60 years ago, when the ship went down.
